Manny Pacquiao’s fights usually calls for a bilateral ceasefire. If Manny will fight every day, then the problem in Mindanao would be solved. But that is impossible and everyone knows that.

And in behalf of the government, DILG Secretary Ronnie Puno has pointed out that a true ceasefire could be possible with the help of an international peacekeeping force.

Department of Interior Local Government is at it again. Keeping the public safe that is.

Recently, the government agency led by Secretary Ronnie Puno announced a ban on products which contains the potentially dangerous chemical dimethyl fumarate or DMF.

In every presidential election, the focus is always on the candidates running for president. Well this can be expected since it’s the president who leads the nation, and the president is the face of the country when our country is invited ito attend international conferences and meetings. Another reason why the race for the vice presidency gets less attention is due to the quality of the candidates in the field. It’s the same old candidates who are from the Senate who are trying to train and establish themselves in order to be primed up as the next presidential candidate in the next elections. But the good news is that the 2010 national elections is expected to be lively and populated with quality and interesting candidates. And this is true even to the race to the vice presidency.
